  My sister used to tell me that all gentiles really hate Jews. I did not believe it but unfortunatly I see it more and more.

  Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists. Israel is always under attack by enemies who want it destroyed and the Jews dead.

  I do not know why so many people are Anti-Semitic although ignorance must play a factor in it. The Christian religion has done much to turn people against the Jews.

  I found it rediculous that people would take a Jewish man, Jesus, make him into their God and then hate and persecute other Jews for not worshipping this false messiah/false God Jesus.

  LoisLane- I'm actually very concerned about my health problems and do really feel I may die soon. This year.

  I don't have the strength or memory to write much, so I would not attempt to, and I really would not know what to say!

  I guess most of my posts are very serious, but its due to my circumstances, health and lack of energy.

  Jesus was not a descendant of King David through SOLOMON who the Messiah will be.

  Jesus descended through Shealtiel whose line was cursed, Messiah can not come from that line.

  FROM FEET TO FINGERS: THE WATCHTOWER EVOLVES INTO JW.ORG

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.

  among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.

  furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.

  Can God Really see the Future?

  by Randomthoughts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is regarding the garden of eden/apple dispute.. if the all knowing, all powerful god sees/knows the future then surely the angels (that he created) should know the god knows the future.. now god knows that humans cannot rule themselves, hence the angels should also know this 'fact'.. why does he need to prove this point to the angels (as is taught by the wt)?.

  do the angels doubt the almighty god or do they have a reason not to trust or believe him?.

  God never gave humans the chance to truly rule themselves according to the jw view.

  He has interfered numerous times and has sent Satan & the demons to earth, and allowed Satan to become Earth's ruler.

  He caused humans to become imperfect and die, thus the question of rulership will never be truly answered:

  Could perfect, sinless humans with everlasting life, with no intereference by God, satan, demons, angels, nothing, rule themselves successfully?

  God does not WANT humans to rule, HE wants to rule over them.

  Listener- Thank you! I googled it-

  I clicked on Watching the World-it comes up-

  but you get an error message this page is not available if you click on any of the other articles.

  Jehovah only wants the Watchting The World page from the Oct g online!
